I've had a great experience at McGehee for the past 16 years that I have attended. I have been at McGehee since Little Gate, the preschool program, and have seen many the changes over the years. I have thoroughly enjoyed high school more than middle school but generally have had a good experience. The buildings are very nice and I love the classrooms. I love the school spirit that the high school brings and how tight-knit everyone is.

The best part of Mcgehee is the trust and freedom out school is built upon. We as students can be trusted to complete our work and we get lots of independence. I would like to see better ACT/SAT preparation in general because our school prepares you for college well except for standardized testing. Also better communication with teachers when it comes to overlap with big projects, assignments, and school events.

I would not recommend this school. The teachers and administration are inexperienced. Best practices are not used and their seems to be a basic understanding of child-hood development. They struggle in building relationships with parents.

The mission for whole child education is clear and there is total buy in among teachers and families. They don’t just talk the talk.
